The Philippeion at Olympia, Greece. Artist: Samuel Magal

The Philippeion at Olympia, Greece. The Philippeion in the Altis of Olympia was an Ionic circular memorial of ivory and gold, which contained statues of Philip II of Macedon's family, Alexander the Great, Olympias, Amyntas III and Eurydice I. It was made by the Athenian sculptor Leochares in celebration of Philip's victory at the battle of Chaeronea (338 BC). Olympia, a sanctuary of ancient Greece, is probably best known for having been the site of the Olympic Games in classical times.
